Recognize that community gardening is a vehicle for providing access to healthy food, and physical activity. Look at other community models such as Madison Wisconsin, and be intentional about setting aside space for neighbors to come together near their homes to share garden space. Community gardening can build stronger neighborhoods when people can see each other on a regular basis and work side by side. Encourage faith communities, business and public owned land such as the land along the green ways next to the river or bike/walking trails to be opened up to community members as garden spaces.
